SQUAD STRUCTURE

CI Tennis Academy offers coaching groups for all levels and ages of players. Groups are graded by our certification system whereby players move up through the levels and court sizes/ball types as they progress. As they train they progress technically, tactically and physically and have various tests along the way.
